How to Set Frame Rate Limits to Prevent Animation Glitches

Capping Framerates to Prevent Erratic Motion

The Detailed Animations Tester Resource Pack calculates smooth character movements based on stable engine performance. If your game runs at extreme frame rates—specifically above 1000 FPS—the movement calculations break down and character models begin acting erratically.

To keep movements smooth and predictable, cap your framerate:

1. Open the pause menu and select Options > Video Settings.

2. Locate the Max Framerate slider.

3. Adjust the slider to 250 FPS (or your monitor's standard refresh rate).

4. Apply the settings and resume playing.

Understanding the Low-FPS Safety Cutoff

The resource pack features an automated crash-prevention fail-safe tied to your performance. If your game drops below 20 frames per second, the pack automatically shuts off all custom animations.

If you notice your character suddenly reverting to stiff movements during intense gameplay, check your FPS. As soon as your frame rate rises back above 20 FPS, the custom animations will automatically reactivate without needing a game restart.
